It is not an authentic liner, you can probably smell it but also flip the the leather and check out the felt.

I agree. Not on original liner
@Frank - haven't seen you around for a while. Maybe just me missing your posts, but if not, glad to see you back
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Imagine - you wear a helmet for weeks on end in all sorts of temperatures and with a sweaty, dirty head and all that 'grunge' and grime will transfer to the leather in no time flat and give a form or 'set' to the shape. This one has none of that yet the shell has certainly been around the block and back again! .....

Hey Michael, I am not dedicating a lot of time to the hobby right now as I seem to have moved from being an active collector to a passive one. Just 1 helmet bought this year and others too much over priced.

Understand. Am in the same position. I haven't purchased a WW2 helmet in well over 2 years myself. Still we love your participation and expertise so please don't be a stranger.

The leather is from a Czech M53 Cold War helmet.
Grommets have been removed from the holes for the drawstring but leave a clear mark shown in your photos.
You can Google Czech M53 helmets yourself.
Your shell looks like a Quist and it would be interesting to see the maker and size markings.
-
Yes, it is a Quist indeed. I do not have acces to the helmet at the moment, because I am moving to another house. I will get the lotnumber as soon as I can.

as far as I can see it is just stampt with "5"and Q6 . should be Q64.
-
The Q is very lightly stamped, almost unreadeble. if my eyes are not fooling me, there is also something stamped behind the 5 . but again, this stamped very lightly, thus almost not readable.
